BC Parks Accessibility Day a Success for BC Day Week-end!
Thanks to the very generous spirit of volunteerism of 19 individuals who from Nanaimo to Campbell River, the Strathcona Wilderness Institute was able to make BC Park’s “Accessibility Day” initiative, a success for the 60, or more, participants who came with family to experience Strathcona Park’s beauty over the BC week-end. Accessibility Day made evident the need for a second trailrider at the SWI. There is therefore a need to fund-raise about $12K for a second trailrider to support this programme. All donations for this to SWI are welcome!
